    Webinar: Your guide to development hiring

    Kate Warren, executive vice president at Devex, discusses today’s global development employment landscape and shared insights to help students plan for their postgraduate job hunt.

    By Devex Editor // 13 November 2018
    Planning for the postgraduate job hunt? In this webinar, Kate Warren, executive vice president at Devex, shares her insights on the global development employment landscape, including how to strategize your job search and better your chances of employment upon graduation. When looking for jobs and career growth opportunities in the sector, including the latest hiring trends, Warren’s top piece of advice is to “follow the money.” A lot of development work — programs and projects — are funded by outside donors, explained Warren. “Those donor’s priorities, whether it’s sectors or countries, are really dictating the projects that are happening,” Warren said, “and, as a result, the kinds of professionals that are needed, the kinds of employers that are implementing those.” Devex tracks funding from donors to help global development organizations understand where new opportunities are, and this data can also indicate career trends and predict hirings in the sector, Warren explained. In this webinar, Warren details some of the key factors that impact development hiring — from top regions and sectors for jobs, to trends such as localization, or the sector’s increasing focus on monitoring and evaluation.
